Grab a spoon: Nestlé Toll House is releasing edible cookie dough

Friday

One of the sadder things about the world we live in is that you're not supposed to eat raw cookie dough. Few people can resist sneaking a bit or two before throwing some cookies in the oven.

But Nestlé Toll House has a solution to this plight, allowing us to partake in eating cookie dough without the risk. Nestlé Toll House Edible Cookie Dough is hitting shelves.

Two flavors — Chocolate Chip (of course) and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Monster, a combination of peanut butter, oats and candy coated chocolate — can already be found on Publix shelves. The Edible Cookie Dough is rolling out to other grocery stores nationwide throughout the summer.

Instagrammer Eric Koenreich (@familyfooddude) was the first to spot the 15-ounce jars last week. After the good news spread, Nestlé Toll House confirmed it on Twitter.

While edible cookie dough isn't new, Nestlé's version makes it a little more accessible for those that can't head to New York City's DŌ when a craving hits.

Thank you, Nestlé. Bakers everywhere salute you.
